If you fancy a trip across the pond, now you have the chance to do it &#8211; and for a good cause.<br \/>\nNicky Piper and the other cyclists will cycle from Cameron, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada. So, if you have nothing to do between October 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and 15<sup>th<\/sup>, then get going!<br \/>\n\u201cLast year I went to the Grand Canyon [by myself] and I can\u2019t wait to go back,\u201d says Nicky, who wants to involve more people this time around. \u201cIt will be hard, but I can assure everyone that we will also have a lot of fun.\u201d<br \/>\nAll money raised will go to the George Thomas Hospice Care, which provides care for cancer patients and other illnesses.<br \/>\n\u201cEveryone can apply for this, but you will definitely need a bit of fitness training. The more training, the more fun the trip will be,\u201d says Nicky.<br \/>\n.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><\/div>\n<p>You will go on a 350-mile (575km) bicycle journey through a variety of terrains with hills, climbs and descents \u2013 with some hot temperatures. So make sure you come prepared, whether you sat on a bike at the gym or trained in the outside.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re interested in joining Nicky and other cyclists on this amazing trip, you will need to pay only \u00a3449 to register. You will also need to raise at least \u00a33,900 in sponsorship, but you can get help and advice to do it from Nicky himself.<br \/>\nYou can raise this money whatever way you like, be it selling homemade cakes, crowd-funding online or selling your old clothes at farmer\u2019s markets.<br \/>\nThe sponsorship is especially important, as you won\u2019t be able to join the charity event if you don\u2019t succeed in fundraising this money.<br \/>\nIf all this has sparked your interest, you can already register to get on the adventure.<br \/>\nNotice that you must be at least 18 to go on the trip.<br \/>\nTo join, call 029 2052 4150, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globaladventurechallenges.com\">Global Adventure Challenges<\/a>\u00a0or t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gthc.org.uk\">he George Thomas Hospice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Explore some of the landmarks you&#8217;ll see on the trip:<\/h3>\n<h3>The Grand Canyon<\/h3>\n<h3>The Painted Desert<\/h3>\n<h3>The Hoover Dam<\/h3>\n<h3>Route 66<\/h3>\n<h3>Finishing your trip in Las Vegas with a free day of fun<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always dreamt of going to America?
